Overall ratingVery good84/100
- Warm sound
- Very comprehensive app
- very comfortable
- Bass without depth
- moderate ANC
- only three sizes
With their transparent housings, the Nothing Ear (a) are real eye-catchers. The visible technology conjures up a pleasant sound with a very long battery life. However, the electronic noise reduction (Active Noise-Cancelling, ANC) is only moderately effective and only three pairs of rubber seals are included.

Like their predecessors, the Nothing Ear (a) are slim in-ear headphones that are characterised by their elegant design. They offer really good sound, are easy to use and have numerous functions. But unfortunately the noise cancellation is not good enough so far.

- High wearing comfort
- Typical Nothing design
- Charging case with shortcomings
- Detailed equaliser missing
Did the brand really need the Nothing Ear (a) in its portfolio? Probably not. Is there still a target group for the light version of the Nothing Ear? Definitely! In addition to the really attractive price tag of just 99 euros, the Ear (a) also attract attention with their performance...
